Department of Defense Ordering 650,000 Apple Products

Macrumors is reporting:

The United States Department of Defense is reportedly ordering more than 650,000 iOS devices. 

The report says the DoD will purchase 120,000 iPads, 120,000 iPad minis, 200,000 iPod touches and 210,000 iPhones. The devices will be used in a variety of situations, with more than 50% "headed to the battlefield, afloat, and to associated support commands." The rest will be used in office situations like the Pentagon.

Someone commented at the site:

This is just a small drop in the ocean of sales by a company as big as Apple. It is kind of like Boeing bragging that they sold one more island-hopper type airplane to the military. 

This tells me this individual:

• has never been in the military
• doesn't follow military technology
• is an idiot

This announcement is an endorsement by the Pentagon for all airmen, soldiers, marines, and sailors to "go Apple." It was always known that Apple was the better product but for various reasons Apple was not allowed inside the military (except in graphics departments). This changes everything.

For the better.
